Abraham Maslow, one of the leaders of the Humanistic movement in psychology, has theorized that we all follow a hierarchy of needs. These needs begin with basic needs such as physiological needs (air, food, water, sleep, etc.) and safety and security. Once these basic needs have been relatively satisfied, higher growth needs can be sought. First, we try to find love and belonging through family, friendships and other mutually caring relationships. Once these are relatively secure, we seek self-esteem by obtaining goals which foster recognition and self-respect. The ultimate need or motive can only be met once all of these needs have been relatively satisfied.
